    You mean actually hosting a matrix server, like a Docker instance or something, or do you mean having a room (channel? Topic?) on a public matrix server?

    I’ve never done either. Is it even possible to have a private room on a public server?

      I mean actually hosting a Matrix server. Like, on my own hardware. It’s very difficult to set up. Especially if you want audio/video.

        I’ve been struggling to accomplish this, and I’m familiar with self hosting. It’s brutal. But now that discord has shit the bed (even more) I think I can finally convince my friends to move to it, so I’m taking another crack at a matrix/element server
